Narrow lanes The problem with the new lorries was that many of the laneways around Sydney could barely accommodate them. In 1929 the Cleansing Department documented some of the narrow passageways they had to negotiate. It was a tight fit to get the two-ton AEC garbage lorry down Francis Lane in Darlinghurst. Local residents look on, through their gates giving on to the lane, 6 October 1929. (image: City of Sydney Archives, CRS 538/266) |
